Joe Biden, Lady Gaga Tour Aims to Stop Sexual Assaults on Campus

In any other circumstances, Vice President Joe Biden and pop singer Lady Gaga would make an unlikely pair. During the “It’s On Us” tour to end sexual violence, it could be argued that the two complement each other perfectly. The two are touring the country, speaking at college campuses about sexual violence and the White House’s “It’s On Us” campaign to discuss the causes of rape and assault. The campaign aims to address student apathy and cultural and gender norms on campus that are seen as contributing to the problem. Mr. Biden first introduced Lady Gaga at this year’s Oscar ceremony, where she performed surrounded by sexual assault survivors. The singer and songwriter has spoken about her own past experiences with sexual assault before.
